Okay guys so i found this but i have found no one mentioning this in here.
http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-s-gingerbread-rom-leaks-01136737/
It says it's a beta leak from samsung for Galaxy s but it includes Touchwiz 4. You can get it from inside the link and clicking the pink "in the wild" to download.
If someone can confirm this that's it's actual touchwiz 4 and posts screen would be nice. Plus it will be a good source for custom roms with the new touchwiz .
EDIT: TUrns out it's just JV1 with no Touchwiz 4 or an upgrade to EXT4
That "news" post is full of crap.
The leak they are talking about is the JV1 we all know of.
No Touchwiz 4, no EXT4, ...
Its the first leaked one not new
Ah thanks for pointing it out . Really disappointed now .
Don't worry. It will come at some point.
Maybe not with EXT4, but maybe with TW4.
A lot of "maybe"s
Actually, i think that probability of EXT4 in official Ginger is MUCH higher than of Twiz 4. I'm sure that we will not get touchwiz 4.0 at all.
I think Twiz 4 will be featured im the sgs. Don't forget Twiz is the flagship launcher for Samsung.

Twiz is a flagship launcher, but Galaxy S is not a flagship device any more. Sammy needs to differentiate flagman (s2) from ex- flagman (s1), and depriving SGS1 from newer launcher seems like the best way to do it. I don't care, anyway - only thing I like in TW in comparison with stock Android is a video player with a lot of codecs, and we already have it (only not in Cyanogen... Sigh...).

Tw 4 is not the only thing to make SGS2 diff from SGS. I think we will get Tw 4.
SGS2 is also hardware wise greater than SGS .... that should be enough to go for it.
Galaxy S gingerbread will b tw3
My guess is that we will get TW4... but not officially
Like we have GB keyboards on Froyo.
Anyway it will work the same! Just need to be patient.

It will be much, MUCH harder to port than some KB. With SGS2's RAM and CPU, this thing hardly will ever work on SGS1 (remember, we didn't even get Sense from weak-ass HTC Desires).
if I were Samsung, I won't release SGS GB with TW4.

This is a just leaked rom for the galaxy s. hopefully the devs can use it for the vibrant.
well even if not at least we know now that Samsung wasn't lying about March for the euro/Asian markets.
Nice, hopefully we will be able to use this to our advantage?
Also, couldn't we flash this since we now have the kernel that allow us to flash i900 ROMS? If we could just flash those files, then flash the kernel through Odin somehow it might work. Idk though, I'm no dev.

GINGERBREAD leaked
damb, this is so great, im thinking maybe tonight we might have a port for the vibrant, and i wonder if eugene and krylon know about this considering, it just today got leaked, a few hours ago.............. anyways, everyone post on this, lets get the hype going, we want this baby ported ASAP.. always thanks so much eugene and krylon, my brothers of galaxy android
So far from what i've read over there...
Looks like quadrant scores are not improved over 2.2 which is what i'm sure most people are hoping for. It also appears that the screen off animation is not present in the rom. It's also using Touchwiz 3.0 and not 4. Market is broken, and gingerbread keyboard also not included. Looks like an early beta build from what i've read.
**edit**
market is working, they have root access, and they are in the process of deodexing.
So far from what i've read over there...
damn double post. please delete
Sweet, hope we can get some cooked roms soon

The kernel that allows us to flash i9000 ROMs is only 2.2 and 2.2.1 compatible. I'm pretty sure someone would have to build a new kernel to let us flash that or port the ROM over.
The crowds are getting restless over there. They're in an uproar about "this is missing" and "that is missing". One of the complaints is about the gingerbread wallpaper being missing. But these guys forget that our 2.1 devices didn't come with stock 2.1 walls. They instead came with whatever wallpapers samsung gave us. Overall it's starting to sound more complete than the first froyo leaks that we used to have which is reassuring. Some of the guys say that the leak is stable and everything is working on their devices. One of the nice improvements they're reporting is functioning hardware acceleration.
No TV-off?! NOooOoO!

Funny to see their behavior over it when we are just sinking our teeth into 2.2.1. Maybe its a good thing though.. I myself am so pleased with the performance boost of 2.2.1 that I'm in no rush to flash again but of course I'm in the minority on that.

Na I'm with you on that, running Bionix 1.3 and it really is just as fast as CM7 was for. Really the only thing that gingerbread had over this ROM is that the applications list loaded faster. Plus on this I have themes
The myTouch 4g is a great phone and I know this is possible but I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to port the Galaxy S II rom to the myTouch 4g I think alot of people would appreciate it. If you guys want the rom from the Galaxy S II please reply to let developers know that you want it as bad as I do!!!!!!! :-D If I was a developer I would port it but I cant. Unless someone walks me through it.......Developers please reply Thank You

Do you mean a touchwiz 4.0 rom? If so, I'm pretty sure there are compatibility issue reasons why the mt4g doesn't have any touchwiz based roms. (I could be totally wrong here, I'm no dev, & welcome the correct answer)... But yea, I think that's why we have sense-based roms, cm based, miui...

If you want TouchWiz, you can download TouchWiz 4 pack for MIUI, install MIUI, and install the pack. It might work (and might not).
Use some Google search to get the files. The pack is 161MB. I believe it's somewhere in Galaxy S or S2 sections.
Thanks Jack_R1 is that pack more miui though? Or does it run just like a touchwiz rom? Cause im not that MIUI friendly lol...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
This is a complete TouchWiz, except for system menus and dialogs.
You can try to install it over CM7, I believe there were reports of it working.
I remember seeing sense ROM's available for Samsung phones that normally ran Touchwiz. I suppose the reverse SHOULD be possible. Though porting a ROM to a phone with completely different hardware that no other touchwiz ROMs are available for would be a pain. No examples to learn from and so on.
Hmm. Any Devs with thoughts?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
It could be done, but it would be very very very hard and time consuming. EDT at one point was trying to port sense to the vibrant, but that really didnt end up as anything, so I would assume it would be the same porting TW to the mytouch. Im sure the right dev with enough time could get a port working.
sorry i cant answer your question but i have an alternative.
if you just want touchwiz 4 and UI that looks like SGSII, here:
1. flash CM7
2. find samsung theme for theme chooser (can be found here anyway)
3. install the theme
4. install the touchwiz 4 from here
5. you done, simple like that.

The same reason people put CM7 and/or MIUI on the MT4G. Maybe he doesn't want the bloated Sense and would rather have a TW4 GB UI that already has hardware accelerated launcher and much less bloat.
With that said, as nice as it'd be, it's not possible. The list goes on in what you would need to put TW4 on any phone that's not Samsung.

That's what I'm saying... Too many fan-boys on a certain UI rather than being open minded.
Sense is my favorite non AOSP UI as well. But it's no where as smooth and as fast as TW4. Hell, even the new MotoBlur easily trumps Sense speed wise.

Galaxy S 1 or 2? Because there's a big difference. My gf's stock SGSII is the smoothest and fastest I've ever tried, faster than any custom ROM that I've ever tried. There's no TW4 for SGS1, just TW3.
There are custom ROMs with TW4 on SGS1.
This thing will quickly become laggy if you seriously use it, whatever you put on it. Except MIUI.

i agree there, but i think stock ICS may come a little later.
one of the main reasons why im waiting for the samsung official version is because it comes with kernel 3.x (according to the leaks) whereas most of these modded versions are still using kernel 2.6.57.

YEA like WTF????
I've just installed the ics ROM from Craver UK site. They have a link to download the very latest ROM from the nexus phones. I was expecting the black and blue theme that I've using in CM9. Can anyone help or is this correct?
Not sure what you're expecting here. Samsung does not follow the stock ICS mentality, they will always add Touchwiz on top of Android. If it looks IDENTICAL to Gingerbread, then you didn't flash the right ROM... There are SOME differences between Samsung ICS and Samsung Gingerbread.
and also, this could have easily been posted in one of the multiple pre-existing threads for ICS.
+ any Samsung ICS roms in the wild are only leaked beta test roms .
jje
The black and blue theme is unique to CM roms, it's not a standard on pure ICS or Samsung ICS Most of the look and feel of the Samsung ICS roms are the same as gingerbread
However if you look at the settings it's clearly different from gingerbread roms
Thanks for your comments, I've decided to use Resurrection Remix one instead and its defiantly allot better more stable.
Thanks again.
Should of stuck with cm9, all samsung roms will look like the current gingerbread ones.
lol... i bought a samsung galaxy s2, but it still looks like samsung galaxy s2... y doesnt it look like galaxy nexus?
If all you care about is the looks, then just simply change your theme and call it a day.

Thats a Google requirement for ICS. It's theme i.e color schemes etc nothing much to do with UI/Menus. Samsung can tweak UI all they want as long as they also bundle the Halo theme along with theirs.
It's been done so apps look same across devices.You won't be able to change some setting and get AOSP look.

Further info:
As an app developer you can choose between "DeviceDefault"-Theme and "Holo"-Theme. So it is up to the developers...BUT the app needs to be for 4.0 if it is for 2.3 the Holo settings meight confuse you phone, this means that the most developers will NEED to use the "DeviceDefault" cause that is what Gingerbread can also handle.
Samsung's Gingerbread didn't look at all like Google's Gingerbread, so I don't understand why people expect ICS to be any different...

No offense but this is just a third party website. They don't even mention the source of these rumors. Nothing has been stated by samsung so far so there's no need to cry.

I agree, auto brightness on CM/AOSP/AOKP roms is still far away from perfect, which makes our beloved and very dark S AMOLED+ practically unusable (outdoor) on sunny days.
Also Apex, Nova, etc don't measure up to TW Launcher in terms of smoothness.
